Starting January 1, 2023, employers will be required to start withholding contributions to Paid Leave Oregon, the state’s new program that ensures individuals, employers, and families—of every kind—have the time and support they need to care for themselves and their loved ones when life’s important moments affect their health and safety.
Paid Leave Oregon is administered by the Oregon Employment Department (OED). Employers will report subject employee wages, contributions based on those wages, and employer contributions on a revised quarterly employer tax report (Form OQ).
Payments will be made to the Oregon Department of Revenue (DOR) on or before the due date of the Form OQ (the last day of the month following the quarter to which the report relates). Revenue will then transfer the funds to OED.
Statewide Transit Tax added to Form OQ
Also, starting in the first quarter 2023, employers will begin reporting Statewide Transit Tax withholding on Form OQ. However, annual Statewide Transit Tax filers will continue to file through Revenue Online or by paper using the STT-A form. Statewide Transit Tax reporting for tax periods prior to the first quarter 2023 are still reported through the current process directly to DOR in Revenue Online or using the old paper reports (e.g., STT-1, STT-2, STT-A).
The payment voucher, Form OR-OTC-V, and Revenue Online have been revised to include a line for employers to make their Paid Leave Oregon and Statewide Transit Tax payments. Employers will have the same payments options currently available—ACH, Revenue Online, cash, check, or money order. The best way to pay is electronically on Revenue Online.
